City Meeting, Word
(From the Methodist General
Conference at Kansas City, under
d:- of May 11. comes the follow
ing report, furnished to The
Statesman by President J. M.
Canse of the Kimball School of
Ljry5 May 10th there came forward
f a memorial lor adoption that
means much to the future of Ore
gon in the Methodist expression
of pioneering. The memorial ad
opted at the Oregon Conference in
Salem last fall has received fine
treatment. Yesterday Dr. W. B.
Farmer, of Indiana, moved it
adoption. President Doney spoke
for the area interested, the Port
land area, and a unanimous vote
was recorded for the church at
large to cooperate; with the an
nual conference of the old Ore
gon Country.
The records in the Daily Advo
cate, the official paper.jread: "A
little variety was introduced by
the prevailing unanimously of the
report approving and recognizing
the plans for a centennial celebra
tion in honor of Jason Lee, to be
held in 1934. under the auspices
of the churches of the Portland
area." The writer is more than
pleased, especially as the original
memorial was drafted by, him .and
the document.
The chairman of the commit
tee in moving the adoption of the
memorial said, "The church in the
Portland area undertakes to carry
forward the celebration. They
simply ask that they may have
your approval. I move the adop
tion of the report." It only re
mains for a commission to be
named after general conference
from the interested annual con
ferences with cooperative repre
sentattans from the several board?
of theJurch. There is a genera!
impression that a great series of
eves will be worked out, begin
nine in the near future.

Editors; Two Offices .Not
Derided
Barney Cameron, debater and
self-supporting student, will han
dle the gavel for the senior high
school student body next year;
Edith Mae Jenks member of the
Junior debate squad is the choice
of 4he voters' for editor of the
annual; Julia Creech, two year
Clarion worker, was fleeted editor
of the Clarion newspaper; Lor
raine Gregg, junior , is the new
student body scribe.
In such manner were 350 of the
500 eligr&le voters ( at the high
school found to have cast a pirtion
of their favor when the final bal
lot was counted shortly after five
yesterday evening.
Despite the comparatively light
vote, competition in the elections
this year was unusually keen. And
notwithstanding the election rival
ry, but two positions will have to
go through the election mill again
to determine the final winner. No
majority was cast for any of the
five contestants for song leader
and the final count failed to show
an election in the Clarion manag
ership. It is probable the re-election
will be held Monday although
the student council has' final au
thority on the time.
In addition to the presidency,
editorships and secretaryship, the
election determined the following:
Margaret Drager, this year trea
surer of the junior class, was elect
ed vice-president.
Garald Simpson led the field of
three aspirants for yeH leader and

here yesterday when Gordon

Lieutenant Jacobs was called
upon to go in pursuit, and Mr.
Mounce, recently appointed deputy
sheriff of the air. went along to
make the "arrest." Before long
they overtook the balloon, Mounce
punctured it with a neat pistol
shot, and the emptied bag flut
tered to earth. The airplane crew
recovered it and took it back to its
owners less than half an hour
after it escaped.
That isn't likely to be a very
extensive use for planes, but some

Rapid travel, of course, is an
old story, and will become more
extensive and standardized as
more airports are provided.

With the first installment of
this season's road improvement
program nearing completion and
other jobs throughout the county
getting well under way, the road
program in Marion county for
1928 is getting off to a rapid
start.
The half mile stretch between
Jack's bridge across Butte river
and Pine Tree Corners is expected
to be finished by the close ,of this
week, and marks the first unit
of the road improvement program.
Roads for the most part will be
graveled rather than surfaced
with asphalt or treated in any
more expensive way. it has been
indicated by the county commis
sioners, the idea being that more
people can ben benefited by the.
less expensive plan.
The county will operate only
three of Its paving plants this
year. These will be started up
j early in July.

his finger, informing him that he
would force him to leave the city
